Today’s subject for the writing challenge is “Bears, Beans and Beer.” I can’t wait to see what everyone wrote!

If a bear ate beans and drank beer, he would probably look for a porta-potty. And if he used the porta- potty, he might feel the need to wash his hands. If he washes his hands, he might begin to play with the soap bubbles. And if he plays with the soap bubbles he might want to go to the store and buy some balloons. If he purchases a cluster of helium balloons he might find children surrounding him.

Alternate Ending 1: And if the bear finds children surrounding him, he might get down on his knee and give them a soft, warm bear hug. Thus, bears, beans and beer result in wonderful furry hugs.

Alternate Ending 2: And if a bear finds children surrounding him, he might get down on his knee and eat every single one of them, sucking the marrow from their bones when he is done. Thus, bears, beans and beer do NOT result in a happy ending. Except for the bear.
